MUSIC AND LYRICS BY STEPHEN SONDHEIM BOOK BY JAMES LAPINE
Passion explores love and obsession through the story of Giorgio, an officer in the Italian Army (in 1863) who carries on an affair through the mail with Clara, a married woman. When Fosca, the sickly, wretched sister of the colonel becomes obsessed with Giorgio, her passion begins to eat at his soul until he gives in to her overpowering love. The show explores the interconnectedness of love, beauty, passion and obsession. Passion is Stephen Sondheim's brilliant, Tony Award-winning, seldom-produced musical, and Civic is putting it on as a special full-scale Theatre514 black box production!
